Structure & Function
This is the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
What is a cell?
This structure provides support and protection to plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
What are chloroplasts?
This type of transport requires energy.
What is active transport?
The cell theory states that... (list one)
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function
3. All cells come from preexisting cells
What is function?
A cell needs oxygen to carry out cellular respiration. This organelle is critical in making sure that oxygen can enter and leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This shape characterizes plant cells.
What is a rectangular shape?
What is exocytosis?
This helped scientists to realize that the human body is not made up of random fluids.
What is the invention of the microscope?
The specific job or task that a cell performs.
What is function?
Muscle cells require a lot of energy to contract. You would expect to find large amounts of this organelle in muscle cells.
What are mitochondria?
This acts as a plant cell's skeleton.
What is the cell wall?
The cell membrane helps the cell to maintain this.
What is homeostasis?
This is the definition of an organelle.
What is tiny structure that carries out specific functions within a cell?
This is why red blood cells have flat, disc-like shapes.
What is red blood cells need to deliver oxygen throughout the body and must be able to fit through narrow blood vessels?
A cell is not able to properly control its functions. What is the organelle that is likely malfunctioning?
What is the nucleus?
This organelle is typically much larger in plants and helps to maintain the cell's shape through turgor pressure.
What is a vacuole?
There is 10% sugar outside of the cell and 5% sugar inside the cell. List the direction the solute will be moving and the direction that water will move.
Sugar will move into the cell, water will move out.
A cell picks and chooses what it can let in/out.
What is selective permeability?
This is how many different kinds of specialized cells that the human body has.
What is ~200 different kinds of specialized cells?
A cell has a working nucleus and ribosomes, but its Golgi apparatus is damaged. Predict one problem the cell might have and explain why.
The proteins in the cell will not be properly packaged and transported to their destinations.
In the Onion/Cheek Cell Lab, there were three organelles that could be found in both types of cells. List the three organelles.
What is the cytoplasm, nucleus, and cell membrane?
You place a plant into a bowl of very salty water. What is going to happen? Please use the correct term in your answer.
Water will leave the cells (to the higher solute concentration of the water) due to osmosis.
